Wholesale Bulk Bases

Buy Directly from the Manufacturer!

Essentials by Catalina formulates, manufactures, and delivers all of these amazing lotion bases directly to you. Since 1999, we have been supplying some of the nation's largest brands, retail chains, and startups with quality wholesale lotion base and more. Many of our competitors claim to have the guaranteed, lowest price. Perhaps, but even the lowest price on substandard product is too much. If that low price lotion base doesn't appeal to your consumers, then you've been stuck with a bad "bargain" indeed.

At Essentials by Catalina, we take a much more honest approach: We guarantee 100% premium quality. We make that claim because we concentrate on quality ingredient sourcing, in-house laboratory formulation, and on-site manufacturing. So when you buy our lotion wholesale, you're going to see better results for resale. Rest assured that you are getting the finest product available at the most reasonable price possible.

Outstanding Product!

My friend bought gallons of this product, especially for me, the past two years, and I love how light and effective it is on my skin. I'll never use another product, and I'm having so much fun experimenting this along with other products which I have purchased. I made the best facial lotion using your Unscented Hyaluronic Acid Gel cream with a few drops each of your Rosemary & Lavender essential oils, and my face thanks me!

excellent product

Natures Gift Organics has used other base with much less results. This is a rich and creamy base straight from the bucket. The ingredients are just what we look for in a cream and produces a superior product. WINNER!

The absolute best !

I am so happy to have found this lotion, and so thankful to essentials by catalina for offering it at a great price! After trying over 20 different lotion bases from various companies, this is mine and my customers favorite! It is thick, easy to scent, feels great and lasts all day. It also has the approval of people with sensitive skin, and ethnicities with very dry skin. My only complaint is if you only purchase 1 gallon, it comes in a container with a small opening that makes it difficult to get out.

Lotion

Love this product, it leaves your skin smooth and the lavender has a nice fragrance, will buy again.

By Far the Best

I have tried many bases over the years including making my own from scratch. Essentials by Catalina is by far the best.

Review by Teri - Memphis, TN (Posted on Dec 21, 2012)

Love This Lotion

Received this lotion in the scented form. It is wonderful. Silky glide, moisturizing with no tacky feel. You will not be disappointed with it.

Awesome Product

I have been buying this whipped body butter and make and sell this and my customers LOVE IT! ...recently I had a customer use it in her hair for frizzies and static cling and after 2 weeks she said that her hair was soft and shiny and not driving her crazy!! Not to mention how she said her skin felt ...shes hooked ...thanks Essentials by Catalina for such great products and service!!

Review by Becky (Posted on Sep 18, 2011)

Excellent Base!

This base is amazing! I'd give it more than 5 stars, if I could. It adds incredible moisture and softness to the skin without feeling sticky, heavy or greasy. I also love how the moisture stays with you throughout the day ... no need to keep applying it.
I'm really loving Essentials By Catalina's bases. I was just searching for a Paraben-Free Lotion and now I'm switching over to them for all of my Bath & Body Base needs.
Great products and great prices!!

Review by Rachel (Posted on Jul 10, 2011)

I Love This

I have spent the last 20 years trying to find a lotion that don't break me out so we tried this and all my friends and family love it too. Thank you

Review by Susan (Posted on May 31, 2011)

Customers Love it!

I have been using this base for two years. I am a soapmaker and also make my own natural and organic balms and salves but didn't have time or space for lotion making. I was happy to find this lotion base that I could add luxury and essential oils. Non greasy emollient, and sells well.

Review by LaTosha (Posted on Mar 18, 2011)

Great Product!

I just received my lotion samples today. Some of them smell absolutely wonderful...others not so well. They absorb well and the scent lasts all day. Great Product! I will definitely be ordering my gallon bottles soon, and perhaps even ordering more samples. I wish the samples were cheaper; maybe in the future you could offer smaller size bottles for a smaller fee. Thanks for making a great product!

Lotion Base

After trying a few other bases this is the best one this product surely helps in my ministry. May God continue to bless the hands of the producers. Eva's Spiritual Garden Ministries.

Review by Tina (Posted on Nov 26, 2010)

All That and a Bag of Chips

Feels like clouds, very fluffy, moisturizing with no greasy after-feel. This is great as a Facial Moisturizer (after using the Walnut Scrub). Leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and smooth. This is what everyone says about the regular Body Frosting and then some.

Review by Brenda (Posted on Oct 14, 2010)

The BEST Lotion Base!!

I tested a few other bases and this base is a WINNER! Everyone that tested like this one the best! Thanks Essentials By Catalina for such a wonderful product!!!

Review by Diana - New Hampshire (Posted on Jul 22, 2010)

JACKPOT!!!

I am a licensed Esthetician and a lotion fanatic. Believe me when I tell you that I have looked high and low for a lotion that even comes close to this! I live in New Hampshire where the winters can be very tough on the skin and this lotion is the best find since sunscreen! I am and will forever be a grateful and loyal customer to Essentials By Catalina. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!

Paraben Free Satin Hands

If you love the original Hand and Body Moisturizing Lotion Base, you will fall in love with this one. It is very emollient without being greasy. It left my skin silky smooth, soft and moisturized. I am an African American female and my skin does tend to get ashy but that was not the case with this base. I ordered a sample because I wasn't too thrilled with the 'original body base.' I can't wait to package and sell this product. I only gave it 4 stars because it has a pretty prominent scent. That being said, the scent can be covered with FO or EO but you have to add a little more than recommended. I usually use 7 drops or less of FO for a 4oz bottle of 'original' but I had to use 12 drops for this one. Love the texture, love the feel and so will you. Believe me, I am a tough grader but I give this one an A!

Review by Tonya (Posted on Aug 10, 2009)

Superb

This Lotion Base is the best around! It is thick and best of all, Paraben Free for those who want to focus on "natural".

Review by Heidi (Posted on Jan 10, 2009)

Body lotion is great!

Super Silky & Moisturizing!!!

This is THE most soft, silky & smooth lotion that I may have ever tried. I am amazed by the quality and how long the soft lotion moisturizes my skin!!! I cant wait to get it ready to sell because I KNOW my customers will love it, too!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Review by Latisha (Posted on Dec 31, 2008)

Better Than I Thought Possible

The lotion base was everything it promised to be!!! Very easy to work with and a treat to the skin.

Review by Clarissa (Posted on Oct 3, 2008)

GREAT!

What can I say? Everything from your Whipped Body Frosting to your low-cost shipping is wonderful! I order most of my supplies from you but if you sold fragrance oils, I'd be buying everything from you! Thanks!!

Pink Sugar

I recently received my lotion in the gallon size and I am so glad I got it for the girls at my childrens party place, it smells wonderful and it makes their hands soo soft..great job!

Review by Tina (Posted on Apr 23, 2007)

Better than Bath and Body Works

I did a comparison test BBW vs Catalina. Catalina absorbed leaving my skin feeling like satin. BBW left a greasy residue feeling on top of my skin.

Review by Karen (Posted on Apr 18, 2007)

Great lotion!

I must tell you, Essentials by Catalina is by far the best company I've worked with. They are there to take orders and answer questions about their products. Their lotion is exactly what they say it is. These are honest people.

Review by Kathy (Posted on Aug 31, 2006)

White Tea Ginger Scented Lotion

Excelent Lotion Base

Review by Sharon (Posted on Apr 9, 2006)

Wonderfully Silky Base

I tried this base lotion and I have to say I absolutely love it! It's non greasy, fast absorbing and softens the skin beautifully and it has a long lasting affect! I do believe I won't look any further for the perfect base.

Review by D S (Posted on Jan 27, 2006)

Really Wonderful

A very nice product! Very moisturizing. Very easy to scent. Will buy again!

LOTION & BODY FROSTING

THANKS CATALINA FOR SUCH SPEEDY SERVICE! YOUR LOTION AND WHIPPED BODY FROSTING FEELS FANTASTIC, NOT GREASY. I'M ON MY WAY TO STARTING MY HOME BASED BIZ AND YOU WILL BE ONE OF MY FIRST SUPPLIERS!

Review by Penny (Posted on Aug 29, 2005)

Awesome base!

My sister has eczema and I had sent her a bottle of lotion using your base. Well she didn't use it until she had ran out of her Rx lotion and had to use something. She was hesitant because other lotions burn on her eczema, she was pleasantly surprised that not only did it feel nice, it didn't burn!

Review by Teri (Posted on Jun 12, 2005)

Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion

I mixed this lotion with unrefined shea butter and whipped it into a creamy butter. Oh my gosh!!! This is the BEST body butter/cream ever! My customers can't get enough of it! This is what they are saying: EXCELLENT, AWESOME, AMAZING, FABULOUS, WOW!!!

Review by Ali (Posted on Mar 2, 2004)

Beyond

We love your lotion base. It is thicker and it holds scent really well and at a great price. Thank you

Been Looking For Chemically Tested Lotion Base

I have looked high and low for a lotion base that has been tested by a chemist. I am actually considering going into a bath and body home based business. I didn't want to put any potential customers at risk. I wanted to buy the best base. I of course, was going to test it on my own sensitive skin before passing out samples. I feel so confident about your base that I will be buying from you. I see a lot of sites have bases but I am not sure about how safe they are. Some even have it posted on their site that it hasn't been tested. I want to build a customer base not a court case.I'd also like to know if it would be alright for me to add other scents to this promising base? I found a particular fragrance oil that I would love to blend and offer for sale. I am really excited now about going into business. I also think you have some excellent prices on your bottles and containers. I just can't believe I found your site. I didn't want to go into the business blind and I have been doing research on FDA guidelines and trying to educate myself before doing this and I am just beat. The last thing I needed was a supplier that would be promising, one I could trust to have quality products. At last, I think my search is over. I also like the fact that my cousin and his wife own a clothing store and I think I will be able to work out an advertising deal out with them.I am so excited but still want to educate myself more.I look forward to doing business with you soon.Diane J.
